Jim Katen had told me how to do it in the past but I can't remember and I can't find the post.

How do you set the field behind the subject?

Roof Covering Material:id="Verdana">

For instance, I want the field after "roof covering material" to be 12 point, new times roman, normal.

How to I set that field and program it into the document so its always there?

The setting is in "styles." If you modify the style, there will be a line for "style for following paragraph." Just define a style for the following paragraph and stick it in there.

Thanks..I'll give it a try.

I figured out the other way too. I guess you could say it came back to me. I'm moving a bit slow with a head cold but you had originally showed me the following too Jim.

Just highlight the field, select the style you want from the upper toolbar and click save.

If you find yourself changing styles frequently, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to them.

Office 2010 sequence to do that follows (older versions similar).

• Right click on the ribbon.
• Lower left corner click "Customize" button.
• Scroll down in the "Categories" list to Styles.
• Find the style you want and add an appropriate keystroke. Word tells you if that key combination is already in use.
• You can save this in your Normal template or in your report template (whichever is appropriate).
